What They Told Us: Reviewing Last Week’s Key Polls
In surveys last week, this is what America told Rasmussen Reports:
- President Trump ended the polling week on Friday with a daily job approval of 44%.
- Most Americans don’t think 2025 was a very good year, but expect the year ahead to be better.
- The reason most members of Congress keep getting reelected isn’t because they’re doing a good job, according to a majority of voters.
- Impeachment will be on the ballot in next November’s midterm election, most voters believe, and more than two-thirds of Democrats favor congressional candidates who will support impeachment of President Donald Trump.
- Most Americans will be at home when the clock strikes midnight to bring in the New Year, and nearly half say they’ll be kissing someone on the occasion.
- Forty percent (40%) of Likely U.S. Voters think the country is heading in the right direction.
